act information as to city finances,
water works, etc., that it is impossi-
BILE for me to procure what figures
need for the purpose without more
clerical work than can give myself.
l would call your attention to this
and ask that the council engage the
services of competent boOk-keeper
at once who shall get all accounts up
to date in proper shape.
In this connection / would also
recommend that you provide by or
dinance for the opening and keeping
of such set books as will at any
time show the financial condition Of
the city, and the state of each fund.
AS soon as authentic figures can be
obtained l expect to lay before you

All Of which is respectfully sub

How SIX Indians Died.

In 1881 I was hunting some lost horses in
the broken country west Of the Big Horn
river Ihad ridden all morning over q country
that was strange TO me About II O'Clock l
crossed a plateau and was surprised 10 come
suddenly to tie edge Of a canyon. the exist
ence Of which l had no5 even suspected. IN
the canyon was a stream with u.uE. Is Of cot
tonwoOd timber along Is banks and in one
OF the open spaces was an Indian lodge The
Indians that hunted in that country were
peaceable, but the war was just over and the
Sioux We're feeling rather sore. Il they were
Crows or Arapahoes might get some intOr-
nation about my horses. l lay down and
watched. No smoke came from the ueDce
no one moved around It: half dozen ponies
! grazed few hundred yards distant. There
was not evena dog, which looked rather sls-
| picious.
After waiting FIVE minutes knew no more
than at first. Suddenly three white tailed
| deer came from the timber and walked
l,lsurely across the opening Then I knew
! that the camp was deserted. and the strange
ness OF it startled me. I mounted and rode
| down to the creek, and straight to the tepea
! l threw back the Hap, and l shall remember
| what / saw until death. In the center OF the
| tepae was spread 8 buffalo robe and IN the
robe were guns and scalps and many arrows;
and there was also food. done W Is for a
journey; and. sitting cross legged in a circle
| around the robe, were six braves OF the Sioux
nation. All were in their prime-au Gecled
OUT in war paint, and each one held a bow
and arrow in his hand. On every face was
an expression Of calm indifference, rs Of one
who neither suffers nor enjoys, neither hopes
nor fears. The faces were those Of dead men,
sud the smallpox had marked them with its
twful marx. They took their misery with
heir heads up, and even tba horrors of this
disease could leave upon their hearts no stain
VI fear, upon their brows no mark of suffer
ing. And this that their God might judge
them men. and fit them TO pitch their camps
forever in the groves and green fields of
paradise.-Co Washington Star
